Read something "elsewhere" asking why any BP would "give" IPIX the deal they want when they could just "watch them bleed to death". That idiotic line of thinking assumes that ALL interested parties would be in on such together and would have to agree to divide up the spoils if it worked. No other way any single entity could even remotely expect to profit from such a stupid suggestion since a fight for the valued assets would ensue somewhere. The science, the potential value of what IPIX holds will be the basis for any deal. And any deal will be founded on how much a "Global Pharma" values the potential of what IPIX has and how sure they want to be that they get that value and not a competitor.
